Her death came suddenly while at the home of her son in Kansas City, with whom she had been living for some time. The funeral was held in the Tama United Brethren church last Sunday afternoon, and was conducted by Dr. M.R. Drury, of Toledo, assisted by the Rev. F. Merrithew. Appropriate music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mrs. C.J. Wonser, Miss Bessie Merrithew, and Dr. Wood and Charlie Aldrich. Mrs. J.L. Bracken presided at the organ. The interment was in the Tama cemetery.
